Jani Little represented IBS and the University of Colorado at the 2003 Meeting
of the Official Representatives to the Interuniversity Consortium for
Political and Social Research (ICPSR), Oct 9-11, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. New
data releases such as "The Afrobarometers" and "The European Social Survey"
were presented as well as new initiatives in on-line data access, data
archiving, and data gathering.

Thank you, Richard, and "bonnes aventures"! On November 30, 2003, Richard Cook
officially retired after more than 30 years at IBS. Richard has contributed a
great deal to IBS, having worked in computer and statistical support for 22
years. Richard will continue to work part time at CRS.
